confusion. Besides those few, the older ones had gone to school. There should be two or three more children, but why haven't I seen them"Oh, I forgot to tell you, XiXi and XiaoXiao were adopted by a...Cunshan Second Village can be said to be the poorest district in H city.

One village borders the county town, while the other three border J City and have always developed together with J City.

In the middle of these mountains, Village 2 has not developed well because of an imbalance in resource allocation and a more harsh geographical environment.

The young men and women from the village, who were able to leave, had already left. Only the elderly, weak, sick, disabled, pregnant women, and children remained here.

Although the village was poor, the villagers' minds were not very corrupt. They all agreed that studying could lead to a better future.

Even if the home conditions are poor, they will go all out to ensure their children receive an education.

In order for their children to have a better education, they pooled their resources together and built a school.

This way, children won't have to walk mountain roads to other places for school before dawn.

We have classrooms and a playground, but the shortage of teachers has become a problem. However, luckily, it's not too bad.

The principal just posted a job opening online, and Teacher Zhao came.

This is also the reason why the villagers love and admire Teacher Zhao so much.

After Teacher Zhao arrived, she didn't dislike the environment in the village. Instead, she even bought the first batch of new textbooks with her own money.

Before, there weren't textbooks. They were just bought by working couples who went out to earn money for their own children.

Because people who work outside their hometowns go to different areas, the textbooks they send back are from different publishers, which leads to some differences in content.

Teacher Zhao bought a batch of textbooks from the People's Education Press to facilitate better teaching. The children take turns sharing and reading them.

As the number of children increased and the age range widened, this practice continued, but now it was funded by all the villagers.

And now, the man in his filthy cotton uniform was burning books here with students for warmth, something that would be absolutely unthinkable on a normal day.

One textbook after another was thrown into the bonfire by the children. The books were burned to ashes.

The villagers watched the burning books on the playground, their hearts filled with a mixture of emotions, some feeling a pang of sadness.

Some young children, who cherished their textbooks dearly, watched in horror as the flames engulfed them.

Tears welled in her eyes, she rushed into the arms of the man engulfed in flames, sobbing softly and murmuring as she cried.

"School, principal, me, we, don't, haven't got textbooks, me, we, can still, continue to go to school"

"Can we still walk Can we walk out of the mountains, go and see what's on the other side"

When the principal heard the child in her arms say this, her eyes also moistened slightly. Looking at the disappointed expressions of the children around her, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

He beckoned with his hand, half-squatted down, and embraced the children who had gathered around him, trying hard to suppress the sourness in his heart.

"Everyone is feeling cold now, right And the doctors and nurses in white coats are all very busy, right"

We should be grateful to those who help us, and we shouldn't bother them anymore when we get sick from the cold.

"Now I've burned all your textbooks to keep warm. Are you all feeling a little warmer"

The children, upon hearing this, nodded their heads in a somewhat bewildered manner. The principal continued his speech.

Children, now the principal is giving you a lesson, this lesson is called "Life."

After these past few days of earthquakes, I think everyone has felt the fragility of life.

"During times of peace and tranquility, textbooks are knowledge, tools that can allow you to step out into the world."

But once such a thing happens to it, it is no longer a book.

"Human life is paramount. At this critical juncture, textbooks are no longer simply textbooks."

"It is now just a tool for survival, knowledge can take us out of the mountains, and it can also shine here."

".................."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Ruan softened in the distance, watching this scene and listening to the principal's conversation with the children. Her heart ached like eating sour dates, a painful squeeze.

This brought back memories of her childhood in the orphanage. Although it was also difficult, it wasn't as hard as this.

She has never been here, and she didn't know that there were such a group of people who had such a hard time in a corner of the country.

"Waaaahhhh~ Soft host~ They're so pitiful~"

Yǎnzhī was also keeping an eye on the outside situation, and naturally knew what had happened. In his mind space, he said with a whimper.

Ruan agreed, even though Yuan Bao didn't say anything, she was planning to help them later anyway.

She wants to sponsor these adorable children to go to school, to help them climb over the mountains and see the outside world.

But the most important thing now is to get the temperature up here. It's just too cold, even with a bonfire it's barely making a difference.

"Yuan Bao, are there any warming things in the mall The kind that aren't easily discovered."

Yúanbǎo heard Ruanruǎn's instructions and quickly found them in the mall.

"Well... Ah, I found it. This is a Cold Protection Talisman. It can withstand the cold wind and regulate temperature, but it's a one-time use item. The duration is about twelve hours."

"Then buy one." Ruan Rou didn't hesitate and said directly.

Congratulations on your purchase! 500 points have been deducted, leaving you with 160,150 points. The Warming Talisman has been issued and is now available for you to collect. Please check your inventory.

Ruan softened his expression and pretended to reach into his pocket. He took out a yellow talisman from the spatial dimension, with red symbols on it.

"Yuanbao, how do I use this" Ruan softly held it in her hand and turned it over and over again for several times.

Yuanbao began frantically searching for data in space.

"Wait a minute, let me check the instruction manual. Ohhh ohhh ohhh, I found it! I found it!"

"Just throw the talisman paper directly into the bonfire, it will activate automatically. With the bonfire as the center, the range of influence would be large enough to encompass the entire village."

After obtaining the method, Ruan softened his body's camera with his hand and looked for an opportunity to get close to the bonfire. He took advantage of the chaos to throw the talisman into the flames.

The bright yellow paper quickly disappeared into the fire, mixing with the textbooks.

Almost in the next moment, Ruan Soft could feel that the surrounding environment was no longer so cold.

"Jade, Jade, control the temperature! At this rate, I'm afraid the flowers will bloom!" Ruan Rou hurriedly said to Jade.

Yuan Bao only realized this after being reminded.

He frantically set the talisman paper's temperature to be five or six degrees higher than the outside temperature.

Although the temperature is still not high, it's not as unbearable outside now.

Meanwhile, Liu the director in city M, with a tired face, kept staring at Ruan Soft's screen.

There are too many papers on the table, I can't bear to see this when I get older.

Then I thought of the overwhelming public hostility toward Ruan Soft, which had almost reached its peak after another night.

He probably thinks it's time to start fighting back. away, there is no reason to take it back.After a moment of silence, the two elderly people on the other end of the phone accepted the gift.Even after hanging up the phone, Mo Yi Chen could still hear...
